I want to say PekWM, but it's been a while since i looked at it, so I'm probably wrong. I'm reasonably sure I've seen the functionality implemented somewhere. Certainly the QMMP audio-player app sort of 'magnetizes' its subwindows, so if they're placed next to each other they 'stick' to each other. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
